This seems to be happening more often in the last few years than any others in recent history, but over the weekend, a seal pup was seen right hanging out on the beach right near the water line at Hampton Beach in New Hampshire. The picture was posted by Chris Egan to the u local New Hampshire group on Facebook, which obviously immediately scored some traction because all we're usually used to seeing wash up on the shores of our beaches in New England is seaweed, rocks, and periwinkles. Chris Egan via Facebook More often than not, the natural, first instinctual reaction is to try and help out, because other than seeing an adorable seal pup up close and personal, it comes across as the seal has been beached and needs help to get back into the ocean to continue living. And while seals DO get beached at times, usually that's not at all the case.
